 AlephX: This interface is really good, in comparison to Restoration. But Restoration is able to retrieve more files (if all include checks are selected, in the test 13586 Vs 13489), pretty faster (maybe 4x), and it is able to retrieve files which have been wiped by Undelete Plus. It´a a pity! The Wipe Option would be really nice... Anyway Undelete Plus is very good to work with massive lists of deleted files (seen also by extension) because a quite clever GUI. [2006-11-28 00:16]

 AlephX: A good new: I tested the Wipe Option again (on about 1000 files) and it worked pretty good. Restoration found only three files... [2006-11-28 00:23]

 JJo: When you delete / wipe with this program, you are not able to defrag your HD. [2006-11-28 02:08]

 AlephX: I used an alternative defragmenter and it worked ok. I do not know about MS XP defragmenter... [2006-11-29 05:41]

 AlephX: AHIIII!
as JJo warned, I had an automatic CHKDSK running the day later, and the "criminal" files (whose sectors were mismatched) were three of the ones I wiped...

NTFS and Undelete Plus are NOt firiend! [2006-12-01 04:40]

 Kyril: We make a decision to remove wipe feature in Undelete Plus. New 2.42 version is read-only and absolutely safe for your drive. [2006-12-14 19:46]

 a: i dont get why it needs to write the language setting 'english' to registry if thats the default.. i mean why not write it when it's NOT the 'default language' that would make more sence.. unless it checks the language automatically but that wouldn't hit the nail sence it could of been done on the fly.. without writing anything.. unless user expecityly said "i want this language"..'pow! right in the kisser' [2006-12-23 20:43]

 a: im suprised it's not shareware or a knock off of the pro version (yuck!!! yuck!! yuck!!!).. it's got it's own website.. cheers for giving it away for free, and keep up the good work. [2006-12-23 20:47]

 Mr. Mister: NOTE! Be careful to compare to Restoration because it counts deleted folders as files!

Also the wipe option is still there (version 2.5), just right-click and select it from the menu. It was removed?! WTF?!

Tested the wipe feature and no files were found by Restoration. Tried to restore two files and only one was restored with no error messages in the lower panel. I just don't know if I can trust this program.

And why there are no programs with "wipe deleted folders" feature??? Should be really simple I think.

By the way, there is no 2.51 version of this program yet. At least not to my knowledge.. look at the history from the authors website. [2006-12-30 18:41]

 Mark: what a terrific piece of kit to have, I accidently deleted some family mpeg videos b4 burning them to dvd and this app saved the day, many thanks to the authors. [2007-03-28 05:30]

 Costa28: The program save in the system reg 3 (no 1) key only if they're modified by the user:
They are:
- language;
- restore folder;
- check of keep folder structure [2007-05-02 03:29]

 Local: God Bless the makers of this, it has been the first restoration program that I've tried and has worked well beyond expectations.

I cannot compare it to Restoration as I have had not had a chance to test that program completely but this one does seem to do everything I could want it for.

The search in the gui is also one of the easiest and best I have seen [2007-09-06 05:18]

 Libertytoad: Works okay but is very, very slow. [2007-09-30 12:42]

 Shodan: The latest version - 2.94 - does not display correctly under Vista. The drive letters are not visible unless you move the scroll bar to the right to show them... [2007-11-08 04:53]

 Lyx: Fucking skinning. Unusable on my OS because i use a dark windows colorscheme - therefore, various texts in the app are unreadable.

IMHO, skinning should be mentioned in portable app descriptions, since it can easily make an app difficult or impossible to use (but definatelly ugly to use) on any PC which does not use the default windows colorscheme (or a similiar one). [2008-02-24 05:39]

 Ben: Ver. 2.94 no longer has the "clean disk" feature [2008-05-18 08:14]

 Al: I deleted grandkid photos over the household net. Niether the laptop I was using or the PC recycle bin contained the files. Didn't want to install anything on the disk, so I found and ran UP from off the Net; got my files back and am a happy camper (I'm off the wife's shit list!) THANKS!! [2008-06-01 20:08]

 Tala: Version 2.96 supports adware. Creates "AdRotator" folder and connects to home. Displays banner ads in top right hand side of program interface. Not for me. [2008-07-17 18:54]

 chinkaling: Not only is the "recovery" a very slow process, the "recovered" files--which had a "Very Good" chance of restoration according to the program--came out corrupted although the program said the "undeletion" was a success. I definitely would recommend finding something else (preferably without rotating ads, too). [2008-08-09 03:46]

 Ashghost: The fact that it creates a folder and some files (for serving ads) in your user folder is especially heinous: those files might be overwriting parts of the files you want to recover!!

Very poor form. Since you're supposed to run it from a different drive, it would make so much more sense to save the ad images in a subfolder of the application folder, at least. [2008-08-20 07:50]

 T.A.: i have used undelete plus to retrieve my files but when i go to restore them they are always corrupted [2009-03-10 16:40]

 Hugh, Ireland: I just want to say a BIG HUGE THANK YOU to the makers of this software.
IT WORKED!!!
And I didn't get any nasties with it. And to give even more credit, it just damn well came straight on. No fooling around, hassle, BS, or needing to get or do anything else.

Thank you so much for this.

Best Wishes. [2009-10-12 19:29]

 john: does the english setting affect the file I found some files corrupted [2009-12-31 15:25]

You need to use Universal Extractor to extract the installer, but you only need undelete_plus.exe in the {app} subfolder. [2010-06-19 00:12]

 Jim: Awesome!!
I downloaded 6 "Free" utilities yesterday that asked for $50 AFTER they identified the deleted files.
Keep stickin' it to 'em!!! [2010-06-28 14:23]

It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
